Details

The main goal for the project is to create a compelling script for a short film that addresses a social justice issue within the community. The script should effectively convey the message and engage the audience, using community members as the cast to bring real-life experiences to the screen. This will involve several different steps for the scriptwriters, including:


- Researching and understanding the social justice issue being addressed.


- Developing a storyline and characters that effectively convey the message.


- Writing dialogue and scenes that bring authenticity to the screen.


- Collaborating with the production team to ensure the script aligns with the overall vision of Nikisar Inc.


Deliverables

By the end of the project, scriptwriters should complete the following tasks:


- A well-researched and compelling script that effectively addresses the social justice issue.


- Dialogue and scenes that bring authenticity and real-life experiences to the screen.


- Collaboration with the production team to ensure the script aligns with the overall vision of Nikisar Inc.



Final deliverables:


- A finalized script ready for production.


- A presentation explaining the research and creative process behind the script.


Mentorship

Mentorship programs have become an increasingly popular resource as organizations to

recognize the value of employee development.


Mentorship relationships happen naturally within any professional setting when someone with more experience (the mentor) offers valuable insights to someone with less experience (the mentee). But establishing formal mentorship programs adds the structure and consistency necessary for long-lasting and positive outcomes. In the process of supporting candidates in the completion of the project the mentor will guide them with 5 hours of their time and resources in their specific interests in order for them to successfully complete the project.
